How to open NLV file?

An often recurring problem with Nikon Capture LCHE Editor is that NLV is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that NLV files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NLV file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Nikon Capture

The first step is to check if the computer has the Nikon Capture program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Nikon Capture in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support NLV files.

Programs to open NLV file

Remember to download programs supporting NLV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Nikon Capture with NLV files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the NLV file to open in the Nikon Capture application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the NLV file with the Nikon Capture program.

Step 3. Update Nikon Capture to the latest version

If, however, after binding Nikon Capture with Nikon Capture LCHE Editor there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NLV file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to NLV files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file NLV or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected NLV file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the NLV file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular NLV file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted NLV files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the NLV file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the NLV file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NLV file again. However, some background programs may block the NLV file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
